IELTS Reading: Summary Completion Questions made simple!

My IELTS Classroom Podcast

IELTS Summary Completion questions may be my favourite type of question in the IELTS exam. They are quick and often relatively easy to answer and give you the opportunity of grabbing 3 or 4 quick points in a the space of one short paragraph. If you compare that to Multiple Choice or Headings Match questions, which can require you to read and interpret an entire paragraph for just one point, you can see why I like them so much!

Today, Nick and I look at the two types of IELTS Summary Completion questions to show you how the writers "hide" the answers and how you can use this to help you find them. If you have ever wanted to see inside the horror of an english exam writer' mind, then this is the episode for you!
This is an interactive lesson, so please download the questions here before you start the episode: https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-summary-completion-questions/
